MTNL to offer high-speed services in Delhi

NEW DELHI: MTNL will use optical fibre-to-home technology to provide high-speed broadband and digital voice services in parts of Delhi. The download speed of the service will range between 10 mbps to 50 mbps, depending on the plan, and the free usage limit will vary from 25 GB to 200 GB a month.

The slowest of the four plans is priced at Rs 790 a month and the fastest is being offered at Rs 2,990 a month. The company has signed an agreement with Radius Infratel for providing the services. It has plans to expand the services in other uncovered parts of the city.
